Envisioning Information

One of the most beautiful and stunning books I have ever read. Expensive, but worth several times the price. It has directly influenced me in several ways. It forever changed the way I go about communication and presenting tabular data. This book was the direct influence for the FDD processes and the template (layout) they use - which have received acclaim from many people worldwide (even those that are not fans of FDD are fans of the process templates). Anything written by Tufte is worth owning.
